Here at client k,
we’re not all sunshine and roses.
I speak the truth
and some of it is ugly.
If you’re a female business builder
of ANY race
or background,
you WILL receive threats,
scary threats.
That’s not a maybe.
That’s a certainty.
“When you speak your truth
as a woman of color,
the venom…
Not just nasty comments and trolls.
I’m talking about
‘Die, bitch.’
‘I know where you live, bitch.’
And, because you don’t know
how nuts people can truly be,
you have to take everything
at face value.”
I receive these threats
at client k.
I receive at least one a week
(more when my sales are good)
for each Romance Novel pen name.
My male blogging buddies
and my male writing buddies
struggle to remember
if they’ve EVER received one.
If you’re a woman,
figure out NOW
how you will respond to threats.
Take them seriously
Keep yourself safe.
But don’t let the threats stop you.
